Many people know that Valentine\u2019s Day is named after St. Valentine. But did you know there are actually two St. Valentines<\/a>? Nobody knows for sure if the holiday originally celebrated St. Valentine of Rome or St. Valentine of Terni, both of whom were martyred. Legends say that St. Valentine of Rome was a priest who defied the Roman Emperor Claudius II’s ban on soldiers getting married. He continued to marry couples in secret. Other stories say that he helped Christians escape Roman prisons. In addition, he fell in love with the jailer\u2019s daughter and wrote her a letter signed “From your Valentine.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch out around Valentine\u2019s Day, or else you may be struck by Cupid\u2019s arrow. According to Time<\/strong><\/a>, the ubiquitous cherub can be traced back to 700 B.C. In Ancient Greece, Eros, the Greek god of love, was depicted as a handsome young man and had the power to make people fall madly in love. Over time, he was adopted by the Romans and became known as Cupid. His image changed to the little boy with the bow and arrow. Because of his love-inspiring powers, he became linked to Valentine\u2019s Day by the turn of the 19th century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
